Step 2: Loading a Cassette
Use only videocassettes marked with the
logo.
1. Slide the OPEN/EJECT switch and
open the cassette compartment
cover.
The cassette compartment opens
automatically.
2. Load the cassette.
• Load the cassette with the window
facing the grip belt.
• Unload the cassette by pulling it straight
out.
3. Press the
mark on the
cassette compartment until it
clicks.
4. Wait for the cassette compartment
to retract automatically and close
the cassette compartment cover.
Do not interfere with the cassette compartment while it is opening or closing
automatically, or attempt to close the cover before the cassette compartment
has fully retracted.
Be careful not to get your fingers caught in the cassette compartment cover.
If the camcorder is connected to a power source, cassettes can be loaded/
unloaded even if the POWER switch is set to OFF.
